city coffee house & creperie

unique food, quaint spot!. this little coffee shop grabbed my husband's attention when we first searched for restaurants to try in st. louis. as a bigcrepefan, it was a must for us, though i personally am not too fond of crepes.

parking here is tight and there is a meter, so bring quarters!

the food is a great price and has a great fresh taste. even though i do not usually like crepes, i ordered the fajita, with bell peppers, cheese, chicken, fresh avacado, and sour cream/tomatoes, and it was amazing! huge, too!

my husband ordered the provence, with brie cheese, grapes, strawberries, and buckwheat flour, and it was very fresh and light. he also ordered a chocolate mocha on ice, but be prepared as the coffee is strong.

this is a quaint little restaurant, the wait was not long and the glass patio was perfect for a cafe atmosphere!

this is my favorite breakfast spot in st. louis. been here at least a dozen times and it's always amazing. the raspberry beretcrepeis to die for! coffee is also top notch. the market salad is another favorite. line is often out the door, so plan accordingly.

two words: pumpkin waffle. awesome! any way to make this year round would make me a very happy camper

never fails to impress. went back last week for pumpkin piecrepe- very yummy! filled with pumpkin and spices, served warm with whipped cream. went excellent with my coffee. also the manager went the extra mile to fanagle me a pound of the pumpkin spice coffee to take home. thank you! love this place! want to go back for pumpkin waffle before it's gone

best breakfast. i just love coming here, made two trips last weekend! i like to go with a friend so one of us can get a sweetcrepeand the other more of a "meaty"crepewith chicken, ham, bacon, etc. southern pecan coffee is delicious, with free refills! only bad thing is this place is often quite busy, but that's expected with such delicious food! can't wait for my next date with the monte cristo!

didn't live up to the reviews.... i was recently in st. louis on a quick business trip and wanted to find a respectable cup of coffee. city coffee house popped up, had good reviews, and crepes so i was sold. the staff was very nice and the atmosphere charming but i found that the food and drink did not live up to their hype. my latte had over-frothed cappuccino style foam, the espresso was burnt and, even after adding honey, the drink left a lingering unpleasant taste in my mouth. thecrepemenu was extensive (and i loved the chalk art style of it) but in practice thecrepewas too thick for my liking... in france they are paper thin, delicate almost. this crepe, though still tasty, was much more akin to a thin pancake, denser and thicker that i'd have liked.

i would go back to try their other kinds of crepes but the coffee left me wanting and i would not get it again.

read the reviews and prepared by reading the website menu ahead of time. my husband and i ordered a savory and a sweetcrepeand shared both. so delicious we came back the next two days of our trip to try other menu options. if you come in expecting it to be busy and know the service style then you can focus on the yummy food!

pb&jbcrepewas amazing.

just delicious. wonderful little place (like all the other reviews state). had the fajitacrepeand couldn't believe everything they were able to stuff in there! great combination of flavors. my boyfriend had the apple caramelcrepewhich was a nice dessert after the fajita explosion. will definitely be back for more :)

creperrific!. i just tried the southwesterncrepeand it was so savory! it hit all the right notes and i didn't know what a hearty meal i was about to enjoy (portions were big!).

love, love, love this place. you can never go wrong. i always try a newcrepeand am always impressed. my boyfriend and i will order two and share. great lattes. i highly recommend city coffee..can't go wrong!

compliments to the chef!!. it is the bestcrepedough i ever tried is so tasty .i love the st. louis and the montecarlo, the muffins and scones are good with the morning coffee.
it is busy on the weekends but is worth the wait
thanks carlo for your yummie food!

perfection. what could be better with the perfect atmosphere, the perfectcrepeand the perfect crepe? cheaper prices. this is one of my favorite hangouts but due to the prices i cannot go as often as i would like.

tender crepes, delicious fillings both savory and sweet, excellent service, bright and cheery atmosphere makes for the perfect combination. if you haven't ever gotten to experience the cch&c, this is the perfect day for it!
